Govít program would fly in Central American children to join parents in US

Now, the federal government is intervening so these children wonít have to make that trek -Ė theyíll get to fly into the U.S. instead. For free.

A new State Department and Department of Homeland Security program seeks to stop the surge of immigrant children from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador at the southern border by giving their U.S.-based parents the option to apply to have their kids picked up and put on a plane, without paying a penny.

Are you kidding me??? I'm sick of paying for this crap! This absolute insanity.

I'm fine with letting children be reunited with their parents, you're sick of paying for what crap? This hasn't even been put into effect, nor has a price been stated.

Well, with money having nothing to back it worldwide and being printed in droves.. but the point is, I'd rather let kids be reunited with their parents then spend money on war machines, think whatever you want.

If the US had not let illegal border crossers in the US, then this wouldn't be an issue now would it?

Their parents paid to send them here illegally, let them fund the costs of retrieving them.
